6:14 pm
what happened? >> well, it did not pan out that way which is one of the things that happens when we pass a really big deal, a couple of thousand pages long without giving people adequate opportunity to review it and figure out what the implications will be. so we are adding over a trillion to the debt of the next ten years. he will also be adding, according to this report, 12 million new beneficiaries to medicaid. this is a problem. gerri: right. it is astonishing, and remember when nancy pelosi said we will know what is in the bill when we read it. now we are finally finding of commands that me tell you, it is frightening. one of the things of the cbo found call entitlement spending, obamacare, medicare, medicaid, all of this together to met will exceed spending for everything else, even defense, social security, health care is going to be everything. is that good news for americans? what should we do about it? >> it is not good news for americans. in fact, it is scary news.
6:15 pm
not just for people who care, say, but defense, but also for people to care about our ability to fund and thailand programs because by the end of this decade we will be paying close to a jillion dollars per year just in interest on our national debt. that could happen sooner to depending on what happens to interest rates in the deficits. we are getting to that point. the difference in terms of real pain now in interest among we will be paying and is more than our entire defense budget which is a pretty big deal. gerri: here is another number that blew me away. 7 million people, 7 million people will lose their employer sponsored health care. you see how this happens because ultimately that penalty that you paid as an employer is less than what you would pay for full coverage. the smart and intelligent employer says and is going to let the federal government pick up the tab. this is not what we were promised. >> that's right. now what we were promised that all, and will we are told that
6:16 pm
even a modest plan under obamacare is likely to cost an american family $20,000 a year, that is a lot of people are going to do, not just employers, but individuals. this is a joy to result in more people going on to some form of government support and is going to result, perhaps, and a lot of people going without health insurance. it could end up having the opposite effect that we were promised. gerri: to talk about unintended consequences of time on the show. obamacare seems to be chock full of them. employers are going to end up paying penalties of $13 billion. now, you know, i think of that what you might do if you wanted to speed up the growth in this economy. this is not one of them. >> that's right, especially considering the fact that when people have looked at as a source of revenue plus a 13 billion is an enormous amount of money. yet we are talking about one one-hundredth of that total costs, the total amount of money that obamacare is going to cost
6:17 pm
us over the next ten years which will be a problem. gerri: and entitlement we cannot afford. this ceo -- jay carney says the cbo has it all wrong. >> the report is oversimplified and number of areas. hhs can provide you more details, more information about that. the bottom line here is that no matter where you live on january 1st 2014 in insurance marketplace will be up and running and consumers will have more access to quality, affordable health insurance coverage. gerri: senator, the press secretary blowing smoke? >> well, i think he is in the sense that he can speak with confidence if he wants to about this law's implementation and yet we are still learning what the price tag is and we are still learning about the ancillary damage that this is leaving in its wake, we do have to wonder whether it is smart to allow this lot to take effect as planned know whether we ought to be considering, at a minimum,

121 million budget get back in 2010. has there not been overspending for some time? >> i think so. a long time. then there are also bad ideas. you have a grand prix that this mayor promotes every year that is losing money, talking about building up the population of the city by attracting illegal immigrant families, 10,000 of them. this is nonsense, and this is felt. gerri: i don't understand for the life of me why cities like baltimore are not required to put into their budgets the obligations that they have for their union workers, pensions, retiree money that has to go out the door absolutely each and every year. but you would not know it from looking at the annual budgets. >> one of the reasons is because you have a super majority. baltimore city has said democratic mayors, it seems like lover 75 years. there is no real competition. there is no term limit, and it
6:32 pm
is total power. you don't have to answer to anyone. and if you are a big government, big spending type of politician, which is the areas, that is what happens. gerri: i can imagine if we talk to some of those leaders who use their failed, what they would say is, you know, look, we have had a slight in population. we are collecting less in taxes, even though we are raising tax rates to the sky. it is not our fault. it's demographics. o reduce a? >> i would say that it is our fault is you're supposed to lead. you have a crime, drug, and gang people voting with their feet every day in every month. the population goes down. you have a nuisance tax like bottle taxed on bad -- back taxes. this does not make for an appealing and attractive -- the city is very attractive. gerri: i would not want to come to baltimore. how likely is it that baltimore will have to file bankruptcy?

6:34 pm
motorists by $0.2 per gallon. pretty sure they gas stations are trying to pay the tax of the goodness of their hearts. those costs will be passed down to you and me. the state gas taxes have not done enough revenue to pay rising construction costs and cover the decaying infrastructure. eight states have raised their gas tanks, and others have their own plan. listen to this. in michigan the governor wants to raise the gas tax and registration fees. in massachusetts the governor is raising tolls, fees, and the tax which is not been raised a number two decades. patrick webster is more than a billion dollars a year with these changes. and their is a virginia. scrap the gas tax entirely. before you get up and dance to make plans to move to the old dominion and he would raise the sales tax on an awning goes.

6:36 pm
that occurred with this and how the way they talk, it is like they're laughing at us as they are forcing us to pay more. >> you're absolutely right. they were brazen. they acted as if they were above the law and that the rules of fair play just did not matter to them. that is why we have this, as you say, the third such bank, the first was barclays, the second was ubs, and of the royal bank of scotland. the third, with a penalty of more than $600 million which, i think, is serious and significant and hopefully it will send a strong and resounding message that don't mess with these markets. there are too important for consumers around the world. gerri: the investigations go on, but you're out for found lots of embarrassments. vr finding in the reporting today in this week there were literally hundreds of efforts to manipulate libor. it is astonishing to me because
6:37 pm
this -- let's describe why this is important. this determines how much to pay for a mortgage loan or any kind of loan our business loan. the end of the day if they're manipulating you have no control of their cost pressure absolutely right. these are benchmark rates that said the interest rates that people pay for different currencies all of the globe. anything that anybody purchases with credit has the potential of being skewed. and, you know, that is just too important, not just americans, but people all across the globe. nothing with these markets is just -- we cannot tolerate it, and that is why i am glad that we have, i think, is a very hefty fine. gerri: well, fine may be going too easy on these guys in my view, but i wanted to read some of the comments that the me because they are astonishing. think we have the month full screen, control room. there will come up in just a

6:39 pm
they take 16 banks, the largest banks in the world. they take all 16 of them, the submissions from the top for good turnout and a love for out and then they take the medal. our bs was in the middle of the time, so they actually did faugh manipulate the rate because they were in the middle. like to say, it is against the law and i'm glad we have this. i think this sends a message that there really does need to be a culture shift from a culture change in the banking and financial service sector. beyond quite frankly, we have talked about before, all of the ponzi schemes, all of the malfeasance that is going on in the financial sector. they really need to be shaken up, and i think it will start now, but they can talk the talk, but we need to see them walk the walk, as you often say. gerri: and we need an even playing field for individual investors, people are borrowing money. they need to understand and of the market and be treated fairly. thank you for coming up tonight. always a pleasure to have you on
